Shadow
Creature
by Mistress Catherine
About three years ago it started. I had moved from Washington state to Louisiana. A few months after I left, my sister called and told me that she had a problem in her place: she would be sleeping and get the feeling she was being watched. She would wake up, see a tall, thin man-looking thing standing by her bed. When it realized she was awake, it would run away out the back of her house. She could hear its footsteps. The door was locked and bolted from the inside. I told her to sage and cleanse her place.
Then it was my turn. A few months after that, I was awakened by a tall thing standing in my doorway, about two feet from my side of the bed. It was peeking around the doorway looking at me. I opened my eyes, saw it, then it ran away. This went on for several weeks. I got fed up and saged. Then a few weeks later I came home from work. I could feel a presence in the house; it made my hair stand up a little. I asked what it wanted, who it was - no signs. So I said, "Get out before I banish you." I could feel it laugh as it left.
A few months later, I had a dream that the same creature that came into my home, took me through our galaxy past all the planets - they're so breathtaking up close! We went to another galaxy and a planet with a grayish pink atmosphere, no plants no trees; the buildings looked like tall adobe houses, and there were tram-like things that went from building to building. There were no children, and no one spoke to me. I was brought back here. Then a few nights later, I was awakened by the sensation of someone lying on my shoulder. It freaked me out. Jeremy was on his side of the bed. No one was suppose to be on my left side. I opened my eyes, turned my head and saw a thing shaped like human - not as tall as the one that peeked around my door. It ran away. Over the past few months, Jeremy will come into the room I am in and ask me, "Were you just talking to me?" I would tell him no. He thinks I am and just trying to freak him out. I swear it's not me,
Then one night Jeremy wanted to stay up and watch TV. I was tired so I went to bed. A short time after falling asleep, I was awakened with a face right in mine. I screamed and screamed. It stayed there, which made me scream more. Jeremy came running and turned on the light. I could not stop screaming, I was so scarred. Our neighbors called the police because of how long and loud I screamed. It took a bit to convince them I had a bad dream. About two weeks before the lunar eclipse, I started seeing things out of the corner of my eye - shadows going across my neighbor's house... small things, large things in the house... they all move with speed. I know they're not ghosts. I know a ghost when I feel one.
The night of the eclipse, I was looking forward to watching it. I saw something in it that I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me: I saw a double moon; one was transparent. Strange, I know. Anyway, about 2 to 2 :30 a.m., I heard a noise in the house. I shook it off as maybe the cat outside. I heard it again, then thought, "Okay, someone's in the house." I heard the boards creak in the floor and got scared because we have a serial killer here and they don't know how he is getting into the houses without a disturbance. So I looked around and remembered that the phone was out in the living room. The windows are nailed shut, so there was only one thing to do - go confront the intruder.
I heard the hall door opening, but I was standing in front of it; it was not moving. I grabbed the handle, flung it open expecting to find a person. I felt cold goosebumps all over and picked up on murder, murder. I looked all over the house to be sure no human was in the house, and I could feel the thing trying to stay behind me. I could feel it trying to get closer. I turned around and got pissed and told it, "How dare you come into my home uninvited and unannounced. Don't piss me off any further. You best leave and leave now!" I said it again, and when I did not feel it moving behind me I came back to my room. The house calmed down and I was asleep by 3 :30
A day or so later, I was talking to my sister Criss. She said, "Oh my god, Cathy. I had the same thing happen to me at same time! It was 12 to 12:30 her time, 2 to 2:30 my time - same feeling, same impression of murder, the same way it wanted to be behind her and it took her getting mad for it to leave. I have not seen the shadows move since and nothing out of the corner of the eye, but nerve-wise I am feeling it coming again. Who are the shadow people? Why do they want to scare us or hurt us?
